Question

Calculate the amount of water produced by the combustion of 64g of Methane

Answer 1

Answer:

Combustion reaction for methane is given as :-

CH4 + 2 O2 = CO2 + 2 H2O

So from the law of mass action it is evident that :-

16g of methane reacts with 64g of oxygen to give 36g of water

Hence, 16g of methane produces 36g of water.
